About Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a safe, effective and holistic way of medicine, discovered and developed by Dr Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician in the 1790s.
Homeopathy treats each person as a unique individual with the aim of stimulating their own healing ability. A homeopath selects the most appropriate medicine based on the individual's specific symptoms and personal level of health.
Homeopathy is recognized by WHO as the second largest therapeutic system in use in the world.
Why should you consider Homeopathy?
Homeopathic treatment works with your body's own healing powers to bring about health and well being.
You are treated as an individual, not as a collection of disease labels. Homeopathy treats all your symptoms at all levels of your being - spiritual, emotional, mental and physical - and finds the "like cures like" match for them.
Homoeopathically prepared remedies, providing the minimum dose, are gentle, subtle and powerful. They are not addictive and are not tested on animals.
The Homeopathic consultation

As a guide, your first appointment could take up to 90 minutes, with follow up appointments typically lasting 30 minutes.
We offer a complementary 15 minute meet and greet to answer any questions that you may have.
